This is my 2nd time round to summit Gunung Bunga Buah. I spend too much time photographing all the hidden forest gems and hence did not manage to complete the trail.
Gunung Bunga Buah / Rock Garden 🌻 Genting • Gohtong Jaya, Pahang 🇲🇾
A dog came to visit our camp site the next day, following others hiker. Plenty of flower and fruit along the way.
Only four of us in this trip, which is a comfortable number. We can camp at the "Garden", which is more beautiful than the peak. Plenty of nice vegetations along the way.
Sekiranya nampak kedai ini, boleh letak kenderaan anda di kawasan sekitar. Laluan mula untuk hiking berada di belakang sebelah kiri dari gambar ini. Tempat letak kenderaan agak terhad. Lebih baik carpool untuk naik ke atas.
Dari kawasan Rock Garden mengambil masa lebih kurang 45 minit untuk sampai ke atas puncak Gunung Bunga Buah...terdapat beirut di atas puncak dan pemandangan agak berkabus dan kadang-kadang kelihatan Empangan Batu Ulu Yam...
Ianya mempunyai ketinggian setinggi 1,430 meter (4,690 kaki) dari paras laut tetapi sebenarnya pendakian akan bermula dari Gohtong Jaya, sebuah bandar satelit Genting Highlands, pada ketinggian 900 meter dari dan bukan dari 0 meter. Disebabkan faktor ini, Gunung Bunga Buah adalah antara tempat latihan popular bagi pendaki-pendaki gunung di Lembah Klang ketika cuti hujung minggu kerana boleh didaki dalam masa sehari.
Rating KL Hiking rates the hike up to the Gunung Bunga Buah peak as moderate to hard. The walk from Gohtong Jaya to the trailhead takes an hour along an abandoned road. Flat with only a mild incline it presents a fairly good work out. You could stop upon reaching the entrance into Gohtong Forest as the going gets tough thereafter, particularly on the slippery inclines.
沿着狭窄的石子路走,两边的灌木植物纷纷在我们的身上轻轻划过,看来这山还是比较少人来的,尤其在这里遇到水蛭的机率是很高的!没想到一会儿我们就看到了水蛭在地上快速移动,见机不可失我马上将它的英姿给拍了下来,然后趁它想突袭我的时候赶快爬腿就跑,哈哈!(请看文末的视频)

Trail difficulty rating: Easy-Medium Time In: Approx 4 half hours Time Out: Approx 3 hours (to the trail entrance) Another 1 and a half hours to carpark Recommendation: You'll need to have at least some stamina/ hiking experience, else you'll be crazy tired. If you are a fit bunny, this trail will be easy for you ;) Bring Mosi-guard (or your favourite 'leech repellant' ; people told me that pesticide like Baygon works really well and the all famous remedy: salt, of course when you could see the leech) if you are REALLY afraid/ allergic to leeches because you'll bound to find some inside.
The summit of Gunung Bunga Buah lies about 30-40minutes from the rock garden. There’s a large clearing you’ll reach, but this is not the true summit. Just walk about half a minute further on until you see the triangular metal structure, and here you can end your journey! (I understand that the trail continues further on, down towards Batang Kali/Jalan Sungai Tua, which is a LONG way away)
